HEALTH.....Expand your career options with a global perspective
(BPT) - The business world is constantly changing and growing, becoming more culturally diverse and interconnected than ever before. Companies are looking for employees who are globally minded – even if the company does not do business on an international scale – because chances are it employs and serves a diverse population. Employees who recognize and understand different business opportunities, cultures and strategies can help a company successfully negotiate diverse situations.
Colleges and universities are recognizing how important it is for students to have a global perspective as part of the degree they earn. “More and more, the best universities are choosing to include deep and integrated instruction on global issues,” says Dr. Benjamin S. Pryor, provost and senior vice president of Western International University (West). “By preparing students to think about their surroundings in the context of international situations, we have found they are better equipped to participate fully in an increasingly complex world in which everything from accounting to human resources is touched by global trends.” West integrates a global focus into courses taught through all degree programs for this exact reason. If you are thinking about going back to college to earn a degree, or if you are considering a graduate degree to help enhance your career, keep in mind how a globally focused education can help you: * Almost every business has a cultural connection. Even the smallest locally owned and operated companies need to obtain materials to do business, and there is a good chance those materials are not available in the local community. They might not even be available in the same country. Having employees who understand how to navigate complex negotiations with people who may not share the same cultural values and backgrounds can help the company make great business deals with businesses in all parts of the world. * Employees who are able to adapt quickly and easily to changing business environments can help the business stay current and grow as the economic environment fluctuates. These changes do not necessarily need to be international in nature. They can be caused by social, political and economic trends, and an employee who knows how to adapt is a valuable asset. * Often cultural diversity is present within the workplace, especially as families become more mobile. Employees who have the ability to understand and recognize diversity among coworkers and with business partners may be able to blend better in the work environment. They may also be strong team members who can contribute solutions that encompass a variety of perspectives. * The world is growing smaller as technology becomes more advanced and international dealings become the norm for many businesses. Because of this, companies are setting up partnerships with foreign-established businesses. Employees who have a global cultural awareness may have better success as the international business sector grows. “By creating opportunities to think about diverse cultures, as well as the practices and business environments they sustain, we give our students a better view of their own roles in our world,” Dr. Pryor says. “In addition, students who think globally offer an additional skill set for employers.” As you look into the degree opportunities available to you, learn whether the degree is taught with a global perspective. It may help you take your career – and the company you are working for – much further. Couple Wills Estate To Pet Monkey
A husband and wife in India say they are going to leave all their money to their pet monkey.
Brajesh and Shabista Srivastava say they owe their wealth and success to the primate, who they believe has enriched their lives. The couple, who have no children, want to make sure Chunmun is looked after if they die before he does. They have set up a trust fund for the long-tailed macaque, who they adopted after it was orphaned and consider to be like a son. Chunmun is 10 years old but his breed have been known to live up to 40, so it could be that he outlives the Srivastavas. "People might say we are mad, they might even ridicule us," Mrs Srivastava, a 45-year-old lawyer said. "But we know how valuable Chunmun is to us. We are childless and Chunmun is a son to me. "We want to ensure that even when we are not alive, Chunmun's life is not affected and he continues to live the way he does." The couple, who live in Uttar Pradesh in northern India, were disinherited by their families after they married against their wishes. Mr Srivastava is Hindu while his wife is Muslim and both families disapproved. They started off poor but, they say, since Chunmun came into their lives in 2005, they have done very well. They own their own home and have a number of businesses run by Mr Srivastava, all of which are named after the monkey. The animal, too, lives in style, with his own air-conditioned room and a mate called Bitti, a simian monkey who the couple took in to keep their boy company. According to the pair, the monkey enjoys Chinese food and tea and mango juice. Their "wedding anniversary" is celebrated each year with a party to which hundreds of people are invited. After Chunmun dies, any money left will go to a charity that looks after the welfare of monkeys in India.
